[QUOTE="CadillacMatt, post: 5406544, member: 595884"] Didn't mean to freak out, went back downstairs with a cool head and managed to sort through that mess a little bit... the plastic harness cover will come off with a little careful destruction, and what's left is a bundle of wires about 1.5" in diameter... I should be able to move them out of the way by a few inches. There is actually a hole behind the harness leading into the A-pillar, which was a surprise. The foam underneath the carpeting by the brake pedal was slightly damp, which concerns me... So I went ahead and made a template to match the approximate size of the speaker baffle, and toyed around with the location and I actually found a spot that wouldn't be too intrusive... the speaker would have enough depth for mounting, and I could pull the carpet and glass an enclosure that would open into the A-pillar. However I got to thinking about it, and I'm wondering how exactly I would blend all this in to the existing carpet... lots to think about. Here's the template I made [IMG]http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj215/CadillacMatt95/DCP_0015-1.jpg[/IMG] And the wiring harness peeking out from inside the plastic clamshell [IMG]http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj215/CadillacMatt95/DCP_0014-1.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
